Guided journaling, men’s mental health, and self-forgiveness, this is where you strike the iron and start to heal.

Steel isn’t born strong. It’s made in the fire. In Episode 2 of Man in Progress: Forging Manhood, host Travis Murray leads a guided ritual for men, journaling prompts, memory work, and self-forgiveness, to melt the lies you’ve carried and shape something real. You’ll name the wound, feel the heat, and make your first honest strike: I am not broken. I’m being forged.

What’s inside:

• A step-by-step journaling practice for men to surface childhood wounds and negative self-talk
• The shift from brittle toughness to durable strength (compassion without excuses)
• How to use self-forgiveness to break shame loops and rebuild identity
• A clear next step: pick one memory, breathe, strike with kindness, and begin again
